Authorities were able to confirm that Alexander had left his brother in his place when they took Giancarlo's fingerprints.

Apparently, not one of the guards noticed that he did not have the stamp on his arm given to all prison visitors to avoid such an escape from happening.

In the initial confusion as to what had transpired, the police suspected that Giancarlo had aided his twin brother in his escape plan.

Amid the confusion, Ciancarlo was arrested for aiding his brother's escape, but the charges were later dropped.

And his time as a fugitive finally came to an end on Monday when he was arrested in the port city of Callao. It is not clear if the police was tipped off by someone about Alexander's whereabouts or they tracked him on their own.

After being recaptured, Alexander, who also went by the alias Vaporito, said he escaped from prison because he was "desperate" to see his mother.
